Menokreatikkul; Saturday Stitches
Nothing much to share of my own stuff this week, so I am going to link you to a few of the patterns that I have added to my bookmarks for future work consideration... anything among them catch your eye?
Scrappy Granny Tee - saw Toni wearing her version on her latest video, and it was lovely, so definitely keeping this on tab!
Classic Knit Beret - simply stylish!
Fleur Wrap (knit) - a simple but effective shawl that could dance with the right yarn...
Fair Isle Crochet Beanie - I intend to have a go at more stranded knit work, and specifically Fair Isle knitwear (I bought a book... it's serious...), but meanwhile, this crochet version is very attractive and definitely on the to-do list.
Crochet Gilet - I have always liked wearing waistcoats, so this pattern is on my list...
Summer Shawl - how pretty is this?!
Sweaters! - last but not least, I introduce you to this Scottish website with lots of luscious, size-inclusive yarnsperation. I dream of making at least one, if not more, of these patterns.
That's it for this week! Have a good weekend.
Menoturals; Final Friday Feature
Joining in with the LLB gang on their Nature Friday hoppity-hop. It is also the last Friday of the month, so time to post something just a little bit more special.
Bees. We pretty much all know the importance of bees to the ecosystem, and that bee populations are under threat from environmental and climate challenges. It is always a joy, then, to see not just one or two but many in one place. Whilst staying with Barney at his home, I went out in the morning to find out what the lovely dark plum-coloured plant was by the side wall (Cirsium rivulare, or Plume Thistle, for the interested). Getting near, I found that nearly every blossom had a bee or two at it!
Mainly, it was the Buff-tailed Bumbles and Carder bees... There were one or two others I didn't manage to capture for ID, plus there were wasps and hoverflies. They were busy, busy, busy! Worth taking a little video then, don't you think? Yup... sound up, and you'll hear some pretty birdsong too
